Joseph Had a Little Overcoat
By Simms Taback
Viking, 1999.  Picture Book.

Joseph had a little overcoat, but it was full of holes--just like this book!  When Joseph's coat got too old and shabby, he made it into a jacket.  But what did he make it into after that?  As you turn the pages of this book, die-cut holes are cleverly used to show what Joseph will make next out of his old clothing until...well...he has nothing...and then he even makes something out of that.
